Dual Clutch Transmission
In order to respond to rider demands in a
broad range of situations, the transmission
is equipped with three operating modes,
AT MODE (including D mode for regular
operation and S mode for sporty riding);
and MT MODE (MT mode for a 6-speed
manual operation), which delivers the same
shift feel as a manual transmission.
The Dual Clutch Transmission system runs a
self check immediately after starting the
engine. "-" appears in the gear position
indicator window for a few seconds, then
goes out.
While "-" appears, you cannot shift into
gear.
